Core capabilities include Media Intelligence, Social Listening, AI Visibility Tracking, Media Relations and Influencer Marketing, supported by the Mira AI layer. Influencer features include AI-assisted creator discovery from a large creator database, bot detection and True Reach metrics, campaign reporting with engagement and Estimated Media Value, and revenue attribution through Shopify and WooCommerce integrations, discount codes, tracking links and a proprietary tracking pixel.
